Oropharyngeal carcinoma, a type of head and neck cancer (HNC), is an emerging malignancy associated with low survival rates. It typically affects older males correlates smoking, drinking, lower socioeconomic conditions. Traditional treatments such as surgery have often yielded limited outcomes. However, recent insights, particularly those emphasized by Dr Teknos in his Keynote Conference at MedNews Week, sparked deeper exploration into alternative more promising treatment methods. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to explore this subject further. One approach, demonstrated the UMCC 9921 trial, involves protocol starting induction chemotherapy. This initial phase aims reduce tumor burden assess response treatment. Based on individual outcomes, patients then undergo concurrent chemoradiation or salvage surgery. strategy has significantly improved rates, especially human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive patients, showcasing potential tailored treatments.

Background The effect of chemoradiation on the anti-cancer immune response is being increasingly acknowledged; however, its clinical implications in treatment responses are yet to be fully understood. Human papillomavirus (HPV)-driven malignancies express viral oncogenic proteins which may serve as tumor-specific antigens and represent ideal candidates for monitoring peripheral T-cell receptor (TCR) changes secondary chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Methods We performed intra-tumoral pre- post-treatment TCR sequencing a cohort patients with locally-advanced HPV16-positive cancers treated CRT. An silico computational pipeline was used cluster repertoire based epitope-specificity predict affinity between these clusters HPV16-derived epitopes. Results Intra-tumoral diversity, CDR3β similarity clustering were predictive response. In responders, CRT triggered an increase clonality clonal relatedness. Post-treatment expansion baseline dominant TCRs associated Responders showed more clustered structures maintained displayed significantly structures. When applying by TCR-specificity methods, responders higher proportion predicted recognise HPV16 peptides. Conclusions Baseline characteristics clones outcome.

Elevated rates of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and cancer (AC) in populations like men who have sex with (MSM) living HIV underscore the need for effective screening. While high-resolution anoscopy-guided biopsy is gold standard, limited provider availability poses a challenge. This has spurred interest identifying biomarkers improved AC prevention. Antibodies against HPV16 oncoprotein E6, known as markers cervical oropharyngeal cancers, are focus current study. The systematic review meta-analysis included six studies meeting inclusion criteria, assessing E6 seroprevalence individuals HSIL or AC. A two-step estimated pooled odds ratios 95% confidence intervals (CI) Pooled prevalence, sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic were also calculated. revealed 3.6-fold increased risk seropositive individuals, escalating to 26.1-fold increase specificity sensitivity indicated high (0.99; 95%CI: 0.99, 0.99) but lower (0.19; 0.10, 0.34) serostatus an biomarker. In conclusion, while demonstrates potential biomarker HPV-related AC, its utility standalone screening tool may be limited. Instead, it could serve effectively confirmation test, particularly high-risk populations, alongside other methods.
